I’m the resident Warriors homer and no I didn’t feel that way at all. I knew Memphis was a bad matchup for us but we still didn’t play well. Also it was just one game - you can’t overreact to a...

Yeah Wiggins was the player of the game for sure. Made Luka disappear in the second half with only 2 points. I fully expect Dallas to bounce back and make Friday night tough. Mavs were...

This ain’t Phoenix, Luka. We play real defense out here.

Let’s go Dubs!

Well others have made suggestions but even if you were looking around the central valley, go to the other side of it towards Watsonville / Salinas and live relatively close to the coast / Monterey...

Black Crows Nocta.

Well, if he's near the lead heading into the weekend of course that will be a big part of the story.

Oh I still have this series going 7. Miami just held serve at home in game 1.

I'm not sure if I can recall a similar player who is just pretty good during the regular season and then an absolute monster in the playoffs. During the regular season when listing the top 10 or so...

Guys… I think Jimmy might be good. Wow what a performance on both ends.

I don’t know what happened in that Miami locker room at half time but whatever it was it worked.

Tahoe is pricey on a whole new level now. It's insane what's happened in the last 3-4 years. My Truckee house I bought for $550k in 2016 is now worth around $1.3 million. It's nutty.

As for...

Heli skiing should come with a warning label like fentanyl.

Jesus, don't go to the central valley. Plenty of other places that are just as cheap without living in a constant layer of smog.

^^ Good point. Lowry is actually a scratch for game 1. I did forget to list Oladipo however, and in general yeah that squad has depth. Of course, so does Boston.

CP3 hatred brings us all together! lol... the way Patrick Beverly was ragging on him on ESPN all morning was a little over the top, though. It's kind of enjoyable but PatBev is a clown.

That Miami roster is stacked. Butler, Lowry (criminally underrated IMO), Adebayo, Herro, PJ Tucker... Morris, Robinson. The thing they have going is they have a lot of guys who can score whereas...

My vote is to double Luka and make someone else beat you - but not always, they need to mix it up so it's not predictable. Sometimes fake the double, etc. Showing a smart player like Luka different...

Woodsy - defending the tuck play by pointing out reality (that Brady was hit in the face when he tuck/fumbled) isn't Patriots love - I hate the Pats and Brady. Just calling it like it is.

He's at least very good. Forcing anyone but Booker to beat them was absolutely the right move. And Booker doesn't have the maturity / experience yet to make the other team pay for double teaming...

This is just embarrassing. Luka is balling out.

I’ve got that series going 7. Milwaukee sure was missing Middleton today… no floor spacing for Giannis.

Oh FFS. Just bring your skis, most of us do.

I agree, if my kids weren’t 13-10-8 I would absolutely do this and plan to do so in about 10 years when the youngest heads off to college. I say do it and let us live vicariously through you.

Yeah that was a keep it tight not messing around rotation. Game 6 Klay will get the hype but that was a Looney / Draymond game all the way.

This is TGR not Ski magazine. Most of us travel with our skis all the damn time, not a big deal.

I think these people bother me the most because they think they're so enlightened...

I have to say with crazy real estate prices that Sac isn’t a bad option, relatively speaking. Still just an hour drive over the pass if you time it correctly and the city itself has become a pretty...

Sadly yes, it’s a real thing. I mentioned it earlier in this thread but I had a friend breakup because another friend in ukraine was killed in March and apparently me saying “fuck Putin and fuck...

Bring your skis, it’s fine. They don’t get beat up anymore than skiing at a place like Squaw or Big Sky or Jackson or whatever. Much ado about nothing.

I feel like the biggest misconception is the idea of the defensive player moving his feet. He absolutely can so long as position has been established. There was a pretty bad one in the Boston /...

I can see that but we might be sleeping on the Heat. Maybe one of the most disrespected 1 seeds ever?

(The warriors could go super nova and beat anyone but I think these sloppy habits will catch...

Ah ok, so Schroedinger’s douchebag. Got it, that’s you. I won’t respond to your bullshit again. Kind of a pussy response.

Never blocked someone in a decade plus here before you, but don’t need...

Quoting this so someone can explain how I’m being a homer here… I guess I don’t understand it. Anyone want to enlighten me?

What am I crying about dickhead? Not bitching about refs or anything else, just blaming my own team for being sloppy. Read this again tomorrow and you’ll realize you’re a moron.

Doesn’t mean you can’t be an idiot…

Huh? You must not watch many actual games saying that. Have you seen the Suns / Mavs series at all?

Honestly your NBA takes are the fucking worst, that much I know. I may be a homer but you’re...

I’m so fucking pissed at these Warriors turnovers. Jesus fucking Christ. If they just cut the shit and played semi-clean they’d be way up. So frustrating.

Let’s call it like it is. When did conservatives start siding with Russia? When it became clear they were supporting Trump… it’s a fucking disgrace.

^^ Yes. I had a few friends do that trip and they were underwhelmed for the $$.

It’s gonna be Lance and Deebo. Plenty of time here.

Okay... so Scott Foster is a scratch for the Boston game tonight due to a non-covid illness. Which will leave him available to officiate the Mavs / Suns game 7. Apparently he saw another...

This would be fucking incredible... lol...

Right now the only pre-existing deal is a one year opt-in for like $47 million, which of course he will exercise. At this point it's hard to believe any team would be willing to pay Harden a 5 year...

It's funny how much of the focus has been on Harden disappearing in the second half. He's done that his entire career in the playoffs.

My money is on a Mike D'Antoni / Daryl Morey / James Harden...

The mantra of never overreact to one game has never been more true. I think that's the result of there being no great teams but a lot of very good teams the past few seasons.

Jimmy Butler:...

^^ Shutting down BS narratives with facts. Haha it's so easy and fun.

You're saying Kobe didn't sit for the second half of an elimination game? No shit? They were down by 40-50 - it was over and they still lead the series. Not really the same thing.

When the game...

^^ Format is 2-2-1-1-1 ... so they go back to California for tomorrow's game. But yeah, they basically just benched guys and took the L last night - no need to expend energy on some miracle comeback...

The reimagining of Kobe's career post death has been somewhat amusing.
